im thinking about sticking with the stock seats as my waist is 48 inches, is there a way to get a corbeau fx1 to fit me or nah?

45~48 is my pant size, is that what the seats reference or is it hip width?

 

[Rttoys]

Don’t know for sure on what the sizes mean, but there’s several other race seats out there that are all shapes and sizes. You just have to adapt it to the goblin.

here are the numbers from the corbeau website on FX1.

• Fitment (FX1 Pro)Fits up to 36" Waist
• Fitment (FX1)Fits up to 38" Waist
• Fitment (FX1 Wide)Fits up to 42" Waist

I think if you want to find a seat that fits in the goblin then it probably can't have a ton of bolstering. something more like a Corbeau Moab it says 40" waist but I don't see why it wouldnt work.

There is someone that built a goblin with the Moab’s and said they fit.

Attached this hose to then engine hope it's on right.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Yes. That is the heater core loop that is not used in the Goblin.

Removed the compressor and got the correct belt replacement, I think I'll stay naturally aspirated

Can we cut that hose shorter if we want? I'd prefer to have my hose not stick up as far. I'm assuming that since its just a bypass it doesn't matter as long as the flow is unrestricted?

Yeah thats one of the reasons for me to stay NA as well. Less moving parts. I could see always upgrading later, but have to wait and see as we may choose to just start a new build then keep tinkering with this one when we are done.

 

[Fenix Nexen]

Is this the brake booster hose?

Sure, as long as it doesn't kink when installed.

Fenix, which one are you referring to in the photo?

Fenix, which one are you referring to in the photo?

I don't think anything in that picture is brake booster vacuum hose, although I'm not sure what the tube beside the Fuel Line connection is.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Auto trans cooling hose?

 

[Fenix Nexen]

trying to find this

however it seems that engine is not a LAP like mine

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Take a photo of the intake manifold, it should be connected there.

 

[Gtstorey]

The brake booster hose will connect to a vacuum source between the throttle body and head, so eventually to the intake. I don't know if any of the Cobalt Ecotecs had the vacuum pump like some of the later ecotecs had.

If no answer by the time I get home, I'll check the service manual. But it will still be several hours.
